[Whiskey Tribe] Crowded Barrel’s new still is finished.

Back in the saddle. It’s 82 degrees in February, and the world makes sense again.

We just bottled the 3rd edition of the Texas Whiskey Festival blend. It's NOICE.

A yet-to-be-revealed MB in the Tribe will be appearing on NBC’s “The Voice”. And Rex has been scheming a moonshot yacht adventure for community meetups and tasty content.

We’ll see what happens.

Several longshots need to hit the bullseye before anyone gets their sea legs. But it’d be epic, hilarious, and profoundly interesting if the lads produced whiskey content hopping through the ports of various whisk(e)y making countries.

In the meantime, Crowded Barrel’s new still is finished. Actually, it’s been finished and undelivered for a while now. I’d tell you the reason why the delivery process stopped, but I’m in a good mood and don’t want to ruin it with nonsense. (this one’s on us.)

Can you drink whiskey through gritted teeth? Gonna find out.

Onward,

~ The Magnificent Bastard

Let's Face it - You're A Bastard.

I Know It, You Know It.

But are you a Magnificent Bastard?

In this video, Rex and Daniel talk about The Whiskey Tribe - a big, salty and ridiculous community of whisk(e)y loving MB's. They've raised a whiskey freak-flag...

Is your inner bastard Magnificent enough to salute?
